Matty Amendola on SoundBetter

Producer, Mixer, Multi-Instrumentalist

Independent record producer & multi-instrumentalist Matty Amendola is a uniquely determined artist on the New York & national music scene. As a performing musician for nearly 20 years, he's recorded on countless albums and has shared all kinds of stages. Matty's sound is creative, lively, saturated, and filled with dynamic surprise as an engineer and mixer. His vintage nods are familiar but driven by a modern urban punch. On either side of the glass, Matty's hybrid workflow and personal collection of vintage instruments and microphones have allowed him to wear multiple caps when working closely with a solo artist or left to his own devices,

    Great having Matty work on my track. A true professional and an enormous talent. Definitely brought track to the next level that complimented my vocal well with dynamic live drums, bass and unique arrangement of guitars, sampling,etc. Great mix and master too. I look forward to working with him again.

    Matty was recommended to me and it was the best thing getting in touch with him. He has rare qualities - an amazing musican, producer, sound engineer, intuitive, responsive, interpretative and understanding. I cannot speak more highly of his professional approach and creative energy and I'm totally stoked with his work, looking forward to more.

    From the time I got the first drum and bass rough mix of the track, I was WOWED!! As a drummer, Matty brought a fresh interpretation of what I outlined while still keeping the feel I was looking for. Likewise the mix was creative and had the right energy and emotion for the song. Looking forward to doing more projects with him. Highly recommended!!

    Matty Amendola is an excellent producer and artist in his own right. The minute I heard “Summer” from his album “Life Commercials” I wanted to see what we could do together. He had an immediate enthusiasm for my songs and it was inspiring to be around that. We worked together on "Morning Void' and I couldn't be happier with the results.

    You won't find better than this guy. Matty is great at hearing the potential in a song and taking it to the next level, while also paying attention your requests/ideas. Tell him what you have in mind or trust him to do his own thing. He works quick and plays better than any drummer i've heard before. You won't be disappointed!

    Matty fuels the artist to be the best he or she can be, no matter what level of talent he's dealing with. He makes a huge effort to accommodate the artist's thoughts and ideas without damaging originality. Matty is timely, thorough, and dedicated to all that he does with his clients. I would undergo this recording experience again in a heartbeat!

    Matty is a POWERHOUSE!!!! A Jack of all trades (a superb professional musician, producer... If I typed all his bountiful skills here you'd have to keep scrolling so to keep it simple and strong, yup jack of all trades) that will treat your art with the utmost attention to detail!

    Having the op to work with Matty Amendola at this stage of his about-to burgeon-career? It's like being able to ask out the new girl who just arrived in your neighborhood before the rest of the dudes at school notice her and start lining up! Hey, Matty's the "full-package" and brings 100% of his awesome array of talents to any project he takes on!

    As Artist Liaison for TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik, I have the pleasure of working with many artists, engineers, and producers on a daily basis. I knew the first time I met Matty that he was tuned in to the sound from the vibe AND the gear side, and we hit it off right away. He recently produced our AES event, and crushed it! Glad we went to Matty

    Matty can tweak and sample with the best of them but he knows that the best tracks are the ones with the least tweaking and the most air-pushing. In short, he's a talented young man with the warm (and likely tube-driven) soul of an old audio engineer. This is just one of Matty’s many great qualities which make him a joy to work with and be around.

    When I played Matty the idea for my song "Get Out" we immediately jumped into working on it. I was drawn to his kindred sense of an open minded attitude to working with different genres of music. The song was released as a single on Matty's label 825 Records.

    I love that Matty encourages me to really be myself and find my own sound, while at the same time pushing me just far enough out of my comfort zone. It's also really amazing to work with someone who is equally geeked about lyrics and vocal harmonies as they are about some ridiculous spaceship sounds I can get out of my pedalboard.

    People speak of 'triple threats" in the Biz. Matty could not be classified that way cause of the many categories he excels in. MA a "music machine". He is the only one I've ever found with as strong a work ethic as me. Which is why I love to work with him. A slamming drummer, amazing producer and TOTALLY dedicated to the song not the hot lick.

    Matty Amendola,is a top notch music business pro. He has a full understanding of any musical project from the ground up ,due to his many years as a professional drummer and studio producer. He added so many colors to the tracks I worked with him on,from his stellar drum track to his nuanced background vocals and soundscapes he provided me,on the concept cd,my band Shynebox did called "GIG". I highly recommend Matty Amendola for any musical aspect of a project-Pete Johnson-Shyneboxx/ Surely Music LLC

    He has an uncanny knack to know exactly where to take a track by enhancing the best bits. I can write a song and let him take the helm in the recording process and the track never gets lost at sea, not to mention his ability to handle any instrumentation as a jack of all trades musician. The kids a freak.

    Working with Matty's the best. He is super fun and creative. Plus, he's always right on schedule and reachable.... You shouldn't think twice before recording with him.

    Between hiring a producer, and hiring musicians, etc., the recording process can be pretty laborious and discouraging for a lot of people...

    As an artist it is so important for me to be relaxed, positive and free...but the reality of not being signed under a huge money-making machine adds a lot of pressure.

    A friend introduced me to Matty, and he wanted to start working right away. He took ALL the effort to help me work on this project and to make sure i felt confident that the final product was a true expression of me. It would be so hard for me to describe some of the things i wanted to hear in the song and somehow he just "got me" and would produce exactly what i wanted to hear! It was just a lot of fun and real layed back.

    Matty is very intuitive, sweet, and soo comfortable to work with and i feel blessed that my song is finalized and i am extremely proud of it.
    I didn't have to deal with anyone else in the process, he took care of everything on his own (paper work, etc.) Song was finished in no time and we're quickly moving on to the next! I finally feel like the ball is rolling and i can get my stuff out there. I recommend this to any artist who needs a helping hand.
